Some of the creatures on this list have been

a mystery.

Try to imagine how you would react if somehow
you found yourself face-to-face with each

of these giants.

“Louis Checks the Mail”: Louis Comacho
is getting his mail one sunny day when he
00:25
suddenly stops and looks around.
00:31
It’s hard to describe, but somehow his surroundings
feel different and mysterious.
00:36
He soon locates the source of his bad feeling
after getting onto his hands and knees and
00:46
peering into the sewer grate.
00:52
This is what he sees down a long tunnel . . .
00:54
A giant alligator looks back at him, its mouth
wide open.
00:56
It lets out a ferocious hiss as a warning
sign not to come any closer.
01:01
The two of them hold eye contact and then
Louis quickly backs away to call the authorities.
01:06
The alligator was removed shortly thereafter,
but Louis will never forget how close he came
01:12
to having to fight for his survival.
01:18
It would have been a struggle that he probably
would not have won.
01:20
One more thing.
01:24
Look closely at the tape and you’ll see
a small green ball resting by the alligator.
01:26
I can’t help but wonder if, moments before
this recording, a small child or dog went
01:44
to retrieve the ball and saw that same thing
that Louis did.

“The Curious Blob”: This footage, taken
from a British oil rig, looks fairly normal
01:56
until a massive monster slowly rises from
the depths of the sea.
02:03
Its shimmering shapeless body is both mysterious
and mesmerizing as it glides across the ocean
02:22
with a silky stride.
02:29
The camera person excitedly pans around to
keep the beast in their sites, unable to believe
02:31
what they are witnessing.
02:36
The formless monster hangs around the rig
for a while before losing interest and moving
02:38
on.
02:44
When this video first surfaced, most people
thought that it had to be part of a whale,
02:45
but that theory proved incorrect.
02:49
Scientists said that part of the whale was
too nutritious to float around the ocean for
02:51
very long and that it would be eaten almost
immediately.
02:57
They were eventually able to identify the
creature as a giant jellyfish called the Deepstaria
03:01
recticulum.

03:08
“The Largest Gator Ever”: Imagine being
on a nature preserve and seeing this scaly
03:09
monstrosity walk directly
in front of your path.
03:15
That’s exactly what happened to the visitors
of the Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County,
03:28
Florida.
03:37
Fortunately for them, the alligator seemed
to be more concerned with finding water than
03:38
finding food.
03:43
The largest Florida alligator on record is
a little over 14 feet long, but wildlife resource
03:44
officials believe that the alligator in this
video could be even larger . . . the only
03:51
problem is that they are too afraid to get
an official measurement, and I honestly can’t
03:56
say that I blame them.

“Leviathan Hears a Giant”: A YouTuber
named Leviathan is on a hiking trip when he
04:04
hears strange noises in the distance.
04:10
Just when he seriously suspects that he’s
not alone in the woods, a series of large
04:13
footprints confirms his suspicions.
04:18
He now fears for his safety and has already
decided to leave when he hears the same noise
04:30
again, much closer now than before.
04:35
The predatory call encourages him to make
a quick retreat back to civilization.
04:51
Leviathan still has no idea what was making
this noise, or exactly how large it was.
04:56

05:03
“The Slimy Find”: These gigantic slimy
mollusks [“mol-lusks”] are hunted in the
05:04
Philippines for their strange shells, which
resemble an elephant’s tusk and sell for
05:09
around two-hundred dollars apiece.
05:14
Scientists have been finding their hollowed
out shells for years, but only recently did
05:17
they get their hands on an actual specimen
for further study.
05:21
When they cracked open its shell for a closer
look, this is what came slithering out.
05:26
The five-foot long creature flops out of its
casing and stinks up the room.
05:30
It was found in a sulfur-rich mud pool, where
it had been feasting on putrid bacteria for
05:35
years.
05:41
Who knows what else researchers will find
at that location.
05:42

05:45
“The Construction Worker Discovery”: Construction
workers in Brazil were performing a demolition
05:46
job when they came across the flattened remains
of a 33-foot anaconda.
05:53
If you want to get a better feel for how gigantic
this snake is, just count how many seconds
05:58
it takes them to film the reptile’s entire
body.
06:03
Not much more information about this story
is available, but then again, not much more
06:06
information is required.
06:11
This is a gigantic snake that, given the opportunity,
would have little problem squeezing your ribs
06:13
until they cracked and making you its next
meal.

06:23
“Stalked and Eaten”: If you ever travel
to the Indonesian [“In-dough-kne-shin”]
06:24
islands, be on the lookout for these 150 pound
human hunting lizards.
06:29
The Komodo [“Co-moe-dough”] dragon has
a never-ending appetite that allows them to
06:34
eat up to 120 pounds in a single meal.
06:38
In other words, they can eat something that’s
80 percent of their own body weight without
06:41
much of a problem.
06:46
They will even eat humans if they become desperate
enough for food, which is surprisingly often.
06:47
They’ve been known to ambush stray tourists
on trails and have even gone after entire
06:52
villages.
06:58
In 2007, for example, an eight-year old boy
was hunted by a Komodo Dragon.
06:59
He did not survive.
07:05
Other famous incidents include a Komodo Dragon
who ate the top off of person’s foot while
07:07
they were visiting the Los Angeles Zoo.

“The Sky Creature”: This footage was reportedly
taken on a flight somewhere over Zambia [“Zam-be-a”].
07:17
A person is casually recording out their window
when a giant humanoid creature starts to materialize
07:23
in the distance.
07:30
The creature seems to keep pace and ride alongside
them for a moment before disengaging and twisting
07:36
away.
07:42
The obvious answer to this is CGI.
07:50
If it’s not CGI, however, then what this
creature could be is anyone’s guess.

“The Beijing [“Bay-jing”] Sighting”:
This footage supposedly comes from the capital
07:59
of China, where a massive slow-moving creature
makes its way across the polluted city landscape.
08:03
It’s hard to tell how many legs the giant
creature has, or what it’s overall intentions
08:16
are.
08:29
It doesn’t seem to be that aggressive, but
the ground shakes under its gigantic steps,
08:30
and army helicopters circle above, obviously
ready.
08:34
According to the uploader, this footage was
suppressed by the Chinese government, who
08:38
has a tight grip on all forms of news and
social media.
08:43
This could very likely be CGI, but if it’s
real, then there is no information as to how
08:47
this situation was ultimately resolved.
08:52

been curious as to what I look like in real
08:55
life, then follow me on Instagram @dylan_is_chillin_yt,

“The Barbados Impossibility”: The uploader
of this video says that this sighting happened
09:23
on the Barbados Islands sometime in 2017.
09:29
A huge humanoid is stomping off in the horizon,
its footsteps echoing throughout the tropical
09:33
night scenery.
09:38
The creature appears to have four long limbs
and a gigantic bushy upper body that is completely
09:54
covered in either some kind of fur or else
some kind of plant growth, possibly leaves
10:00
or mold.
10:05
It lets out a huge bellowing roar as it makes
its way across the island.
10:06
In the unlikely case this is not CGI, then
what you are witnessing is definitely a modern
10:10
day giant or some sort, though its true origins
may never be fully understood.
